After a few months of homeless roaming (mostly in CA and along the west coast), we finally moved ourselves (and our stuff from mini-storage) to a condo in north Scottsdale, AZ. We drove from Long Beach to Scottsdale in about 6 hours, slept on an air mattress for the night, then had the movers meet us at the mini storage the next day.
It took about 4 hours including driving time to get our stuff out of storage and into the condo on the 2nd floor – glad we had help! For the most part the move went really smoothly. The only major glitch is that we forgot to get gas turned on at our unit, thinking everything was electric. Then we found out there was no hot water! Oh, well, lots of cold showers until the gas gets turned on in a few days…
It’s remarkable how little we missed our stuff in the 10×10 storage (it was full with furniture and many boxes). I think we can go down to half the number of boxes and furniture when we move again 
Video tour of our new home coming soon.

Update:
We got gas turned on today, after living without hot water for almost a week! Funny how you take things for granted until you have to live without it.
